possible; but the incoming OF pupils

GEORGE LEONARD, of Boise valley,
who has quartz interests on Sheep
Mountain, arrived here Sunday from
that district, on his way home. He
saws no one will winter in Sheep
Mountain district. Mr.. Leonard re-
ports the veins of that section as
numerous, large-sized, and carrying
go, d pay ore, and that when capital
lists take hold, will be one of the best
quartz camps in Idaho. Capitalists
are already turning their attention to
Sheep Mountain. Mr.. Leonard says
there is but little doubt that there
will be wagon road into that district
next year, and that as short route
as any would be from the Silver DIS
trict road.

Local Float and Territorial
Concentrates.

WHILE in Silver District we were
informed by men who know the
country that the expense OF building
wagon road from the Silver District
road to Sheep Mountain will be small,
and the distance no more than mile
or two further than to follow up Pay
ette river from the Jordan bridge.
After the Silver District road leaves
the head of Pixies Fork it follows
along near the head of a stream that
flows in a direction a little north of
west and three miles from the Silver
District road empties into Paye'te
opposite Warm Spring creek, about
twenty miles above Jordan's bridge;
so by running the road directly north,
and not very many miles, from the
Silver road on the mountain at the
head of Pixies Fork, to Payette, 1t
would strike this stream a few miles
above Warm Spring creek. But a
better route than this would be to
follow the divide between the stream
mentioned that empties into Payette
opposite Warm Spring creek, and
Crooked river, follow this divide to
the summit west of North Boise and
thence along the summit to Payette,
by which route, judging from birds
eye view of the country, the road
would come on to the Payette ten OF
twelve miles above Warm Spring
creek, and the route from the point
referred to on the Silver District road
would be no longer, it seems, (by
measuring the distance with the eve
than ten OF fifteen miles, and prob
ably not that far. So the road i.
now as good as made to Warm Spring
creek, and by constructing the roat
along the divides mentioned it coult
oe made at comparatively small ex
pense, as but little heavy gradin.
would have to be done. There

swords axam,na,,.u.

Inc examination OF John Swords,
for the killing of Massena G. Fry. in
Long Valley, on the 9th INST, was
held last Saturday evening in Judge
Harts court, Maj. 10 Huston appear
ing for the defendant, and George
A'nslfe for the people as an assistant
OF District Attorney e. S. Kingsley.
The witnesses were X. P. Plowman
and George A. Chapman. The evi-
dence Of these two men can be relied
on as "the truth, the whole truth, and
nothing but the truth" The state
ments of the two witnesses agreed in
every particular. Condensed the
evidence was as follows: Fry,
Plowman and Chapman were saddling
their animals on the morning of the
9th, the former TO come to Placerville,
and the latter two to this place.
Plowman, Fry and Swords were
partners in mining ground in Long
Valley, and they had been settling
up some business, las we have been
Informed, the three partners were
negotiating a sale of the ground to
Mr.. Chapman, although this was not
brought out in the evidence) and
Fry used very abusive language to-
ward Swords. Piowman told Fry to
settle with Swords for furs amount
$3.50, whereupon Fry replied that
Swords was indebted to him (FrY),
and the latter coupled the remark
with epithets which never appear in
public print, and which we cannot
give. Piowman told Fry that he did
not want anv trouble, that their busi-
ness would soon be set led, or words
to that effect, whereupon Fry replied
that if he did not have it out with
Swords then and there he would some
other time. The only language used
by Swords that could be called
abusive, was in reply to Fry's state
ment that Swords was indebted to him.
Swords called Fry liar. While
the three men were saddling their
animals, Fry, who was about fifteen
, feet from the door, kept on abusing
Swords, who was walking back and
forth in the house, near the door. Fry
threatened to cut his heart out, cut hi:
throat, cut him into strings, ETC., con
tinuing the use of epithets. Plow
man and Chapman were just out o.
sight of Fry and Swords. Fry made
the remark finally, to Swords, that he
would cut his throat, and added
land | will do it right now" Chap
man then took two or three step
( which brought him, just as the riff
was fred, to where he could see Fry
who was then falling backwards, a
the door steps. A large pocket knife
with the big blade open, was lyin!
alongside of Fry's right hand. MI
:, Swords is a very quiet, peaceabl
>. man, and has never before been il
any kind of a difficulty, and In thi
case made no reply to Fry's threat
g euing language, and from what W
!, can learn did all he could to avoid
: difficulty, and did not shoot until HI
own life was in danger. Judge Hal
took the case under adyisement an
: Monday morning discharged the de
fendant.
